Nithyanadhan .V : So, now what? A #HeliumGate?

Hey, you’re not only making repair guides now. You’re also making destruction guides. (:

Steve Shajan : Next time it will be allergic to Oxygen

佐藤 - Satō : *_I guess I’m going to carry helium everywhere now!_* 😂

EruYagami : New IP69 rating: helium resistance, next to water and dust...

Raffe Dwab : This is completely unacceptable. At their price, iPhones should not have to deal with atoms and molecules.

Dr_Kachu san : Red should name their next phone Red Helium to poke fun at.

SNSD Sunny : Oh crap now my $1000 phone can't withstand helium.

Kay JB : Wow such an interesting incident. Thanks for reporting this iFixit!
